Information Card Included

Fluorite (CaF2), calcium fluoride, also is known as fluorspar. Because it melts easily, it was named after Greek word fluere, meaning "to flow." Its low melting point makes it useful as a flux in smelting. Fluorite also is mined commercially to manufacture hydrofluoric acid, which is important in the plastics industry. luorite's softness, translucence and zoned patterns of color - yellow, blue, pink, purple, green and clear - make it ideal for jewelry and carvings. The Chinese have used fluorite in carvings for more than 300 years. This fluorite has been tumbled and polished to make it smooth and shiny. Picture is representative of the specimen you will receive. Each rock is unique and will vary in shape, size and appearance. No two rocks will be exactly alike.
